Question

I’m new to cakephp so go easy on me!

I have a table called promoters and users can be promoters.

I want to create a “promoters dashboard/control panel”. To do this I wanted to create a prefix route of “promoters”.

E.g. you go to http://mywebsite.com/promoters/events/add you get to the promoter_add function within EventsController.

So the problem is that I actually have a controller called PromotersController which I need for the admin users (e.g. http://mywebsite.com/admin/promoters/add).

I hope you’re following.

So… my question is, will I just have to do what I think I’m going to have to do which is to create a different prefix route? Maybe call it promos or something?

Or can I create a prefix route of promoters and just have it override the controller named PromotersController if it needs to?

Thanks

Answer 1

Can’t you just add the promoters dashboard method to the PromotersController?

class PromotersController extends AppController {

  public function dashboard() {

  }

}

you can then visit:

/promoters/dashboard
